1. Lost Prada Glasses, Brooklyn, NY, found by underconsideration“The reading glasses pictured below were found on Friday, March 21, 2008 on Prospect Park West, on the side of the park, somewhere between 9th and 12th streets around 8:00 a.m.. Instead of just leaving them there waiting to be crushed by a Bugaboo or bike, or chewed up by a dog or pigeon, they were picked up in hopes of finding their rightful owner. All through the magic of the internet and the generous linkage of those interested in solving a good cause. Even if the owner does not read this, perhaps a friend, or a friend of a friend will. In theory we should only receive a single e-mail claiming ownership — the chances of two people losing their Prada glasses outside of the park on the same day seem as possible as being eaten by a shark and hit by lightning on the same day — and we’ll be happy to return them. If we do get more than one reply, we will ask for an approximate (or exact) confirmation of the prescription; we will stop by our local optometrist later today to get them “appraised.” If these are your reading glasses please let us know.”via kottke.
